above the point of the knife

Chapter 331 Suzuki Takeo's entrustment

"How are you doing today?"

"It's much better than the previous two days. I feel like I've recovered, but when can I go out?" Natasha has been isolated and treated in the infectious disease hospital for a week.

All her physical indicators have returned to normal. According to the discharge standard of the infectious disease hospital, she has reached the discharge standard.

And the presence of "plague" bacteria was not detected in her saliva.

However, if she wants to be discharged from the hospital, she must obtain the permission of the Japanese military epidemic prevention department, and she is now a good research subject.

The Japanese will naturally not let it go easily.

However, they wanted her to be discharged from the hospital after all. She had a special status, and the Soviet Russian consulate would not let its diplomats become guinea pigs for the Japanese to study.

"It should be soon, I've already asked for you." Zhou Sen naturally wanted to get Natasha out of the hospital as soon as possible.

After being discharged from the hospital, they will be "secret" when they meet again.

After the peeled apple, Natasha reached out to take it and took a bite: "Martha came to see me the day before yesterday and told me a lot about you. Are you and her a fake couple?"

"Well, that's for mission needs." Zhou Sen nodded, and Natasha no longer "resisted" his identity as a Japanese spy who lurked in Khabarovsk.

This is a very gratifying development in the report to Toshi Yamamoto.

"It's almost time, I should go too."

There was a trace of reluctance in Natasha's eyes. She really found that she fell in love with this Chinese man.

When General Peshkov sent her to Bingcheng to avoid disaster, she agreed without hesitation, probably because she subconsciously wanted to see Zhou Sen again.

"Let Martha come over tomorrow. We are all women, so there are more topics to talk about." Zhou Sen got up and said, "I can't be off duty every day."

"Then bring me some mung bean cakes, mint flavored."

"Okay, that's fine."

……

This is because the plague that broke out on Coats Street was finally brought under control, all because it was discovered early and the infection was blocked by timely isolation.

Even so, hundreds of people were infected in the end, and some of the young and infirm failed to survive, and more than [-] people died.

This death rate is much lower than previous plagues.

Therefore, the Japanese are still writing about their advanced experience and achievements in epidemic prevention in the newspapers. Of course, because the person who discovered the "plague" No. [-] case this time was the free clinic activity of the Soviet Russian Consulate in Ice City.

Therefore, the Ice City Government specially gave Natasha (Cynthia) the title of "Honorary Citizen of Ice City" and a reward of 1 yuan.

Natasha was discharged from the Infectious Disease Hospital, and Arman, the deputy consul general of the Soviet Russian Consulate General, went to pick her up in person.

Zhou Sen and Anna could only stay in the car, watching Natasha get into the car of the Soviet Russian consulate and return to the consulate.

Moreover, she became a hero, and the deeds of "Cynthia" were reported in the newspapers, but the Soviet Union did not seem to have any targeted reports.

Apparently, someone above had imposed a ban on this time. After all, the identity of "Cynthia" was fake, and if it was passed back, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"Let's go, it may not be so easy to see her in the future." Anna said with a glance at Zhou Sen.

"We know their plan now, I think they will create opportunities for us." Zhou Sen nodded.

"Can you do anything?"

"It's man-made?"

"Are you sleeping alone at home?" Anna asked suddenly.

"You really gossip, what does it matter to you if I sleep alone?" Zhou Sen was really convinced, Anna liked to inquire about her private affairs.

……

In the evening, Zhou Sen made an appointment with Suzuki Takeo, who was still at Huizi's izakaya.

"Zhou Sen, your chess skills are improving very quickly." Suzuki Yoshio applauded, and he talked with Zhou Sen about the game.

"I have nothing to do recently, so I will study it, but compared to Uncle Suzuki, it is far behind." Zhou Sen said.

"I may have to leave next month. The person who will replace me is Sato. This person has served as a martial arts stationed in Poland. He is an expert familiar with Soviet Russia and can speak Russian fluently. However, you don't have to worry too much. Under normal circumstances, You can't get in touch with this person." Suzuki Yoshio said.

"You're leaving, where is Miss Huizi, really you don't intend to take her away?" Zhou Sen asked.

"The struggle inside the customs is more complicated. The place I'm going to is Nanjing, which is much more difficult than Bingcheng. With her, it's hard for me to take care of her, and it's easy to be distracted. I go there alone without any worries, but it's even more difficult. It's easier," Suzuki said.

"This time the 'plague'?" Zhou Sen asked suddenly.

"You finally asked. I thought you wouldn't ask." Suzuki smiled and said, "The 'case' discovered by Cynthia is not the first one. Before that, someone was actually infected and got sick. .”

"who?"

"A Japanese man named Akutagawa was sent to the Army General Hospital for treatment after he was discovered."

"Why not send it to the infectious disease hospital?"

"Have you heard of the 'Zhongma City' on the back of the Yin River?" Suzuki Yoshio raised his head and looked at Zhou Sen and asked.

Zhou Sen's face changed slightly. Others don't know, how could he not know this, this is the predecessor of the "731" unit.

The now-notorious "731" unit is not the name, the name came up later.

"They were secretly researching bacterial weapons and experimenting with living people. After the 'Zhongma City' jailbreak incident was exposed, they moved to Pingfang Town, south of Bingcheng City, and moved all the people living in the town to enclose the land. , established a special military base, and built it secretly, just to cover up these cruel and criminal activities!" At this point, Suzuki Yoshio couldn't help clenching his fists, with an expression of incomparable hatred on his face, "I visited there, it's simply It's a purgatory on earth, and I can't figure out how they could do such cruel and inhumane things."

"Does Uncle Suzuki have relevant information?"

"No, the control is very strict in this area. We can only look at it when we go to visit, and we can't take a piece of paper away. Even if there is any information, it is kept with them, and it is strictly forbidden to take it out or leak it." Suzuki Yoshio said, "I also I once wanted to get some information to expose the crimes of these people, but no, they have a set of extremely strict protective measures, and they will not give you a chance at all. Even if I can get it, once it is exposed, it means that I am also exposed. I am not for personal reasons. Safety, but, I still have more important things to do, even if it is exposed, they will just continue the same experiment in another place."

Zhou Sen nodded, and he agreed with Suzuki Yoshio's judgment on this point.

"Then the plague leaked from this 'bungalow'?" Zhou Sen asked, Suzuki Yoshio would not mention this to him for no reason.

Of course, he also guessed something, but with his current ability, he couldn't confirm it.

"Yes, this is Akutagawa. He is a construction worker in the 'Bungalow'. The life in the bungalow is too hard, so he ran to the city to have fun. Who knows, how did he get infected while working? The plague virus brought the virus into the ice city."

"How did that sick patient come into contact with Akutagawa?" Zhou Sen asked puzzled.

"I don't know that."

"Since this Akutagawa went to the city to find fun, he should have met quite a few people, so..."

"He went to a comfort station. In fact, after Akutagawa's illness, the comfort station was closed and the news was blocked. No one knew about it."

Zhou Sen understood that only Japanese can enter the comfort station, and the closure of the comfort station will not affect the Chinese.

Moreover, it is estimated that the cause of Akutagawa's illness was soon found out and dealt with decisively, so no news leaked at all.

Because the Japanese are also afraid of being exposed, if there is a panic and attracts more people's attention, then there will be trouble.

However, no one expected that a person who didn't want to do it was actually infected by Akutagawa, and was discovered during Natasha's free clinic.

"A few days ago, I saw people from the Epidemic Prevention Research Institute go to the infectious disease hospital. They should have taken germ samples to determine whether the plague and Akutagawa are the same source of infection, right?" Zhou Sen thought for a while.

"That's right, you figured out such a top-secret situation just based on speculation. It seems that Anthony chose the right person for you to replace him!" Suzuki Yoshio praised.

"It's just a coincidence. If I hadn't met, I might not have figured it out." Zhou Sen was a little embarrassed by the compliment.

"It's an innate sensitivity to what's happening around you. It's a talent. Don't be humble." Suzuki Yoshio chuckled, raised his tea cup and took a sip.

"But it is claimed that the man was bitten by a mouse, and he was infected because he didn't pay attention?"

"This is a public statement. To fool ordinary people, in fact, if it is really infected by a mouse bite, it is by no means an isolated case. Moreover, under the current climate conditions, the conditions for the plague to be transmitted from animals to humans are not met. Therefore, only It can be transmitted from person to person." Suzuki Yoshio said, he has investigated the 'Bungalow', so he naturally has a lot of knowledge in this area.

"Then this is really trying to cover up the facts on purpose." Zhou Sen said, "It's no wonder that the first infected case died of a serious illness shortly after being admitted. Except for the claim that he had been bitten by a mouse, the body was in the Instantly cremated."

It is a consistent practice that plague-infected corpses cannot be buried and must be cremated to completely eradicate the germs.

Naturally, no one will doubt it.

"After they determined that it was of the same origin as the plague bacteria infected by Akutagawa, they didn't treat that person. Instead, they directly studied and observed him until he fell ill and died," said Suzuki Yoshio.

"This group of beasts!" Zhou Sen rushed to Tianling Gai in anger.

"The most important thing now is Cynthia, a female doctor from the Soviet Russian Consulate who discovered the case. They must hide it from her and prevent her from talking nonsense. That's why they have to confer a god on her and regard her as a hero."

"If she wasn't a doctor from the Soviet Russian Consulate, would she have been silenced as well?"

Suzuki Yoshio didn't answer, but with the actions of those people, even if he cooperates with them, it's probably the same. Only the dead will not speak, so that people can be assured.

"It's good for you to know about this matter, don't tell it, it will bring you danger." Suzuki Yoshio reminded.

Zhou Sen nodded, but he really felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and his disgust and hatred for the Japanese added another layer.

"I'm leaving, you must not take the initiative to investigate the 'bungalow', it's too dangerous." Suzuki Yoshio warned, "But if you want to know something about it, it's not impossible, there is a person, if you can If you find it, it will bring you a lot of help."

"Who?"

"His name is Markovich. He was a Soviet prisoner of war captured in the Battle of the Haraha River last year. He was also a military doctor. He was sent to the 'Bungalow' for human experiments, and was later sent to Nandong. He secretly teamed up with two other prisoners of war to plan to escape from the South Building. Among the three, the other two were caught and should have died a long time ago. His whereabouts are unknown. information."

"Do you doubt that he is still in the ice city?"

"I don't know. His injuries are very serious. If there is no one to assist, it will be difficult to escape. Even if he escapes, he may die from serious injuries."

"After such a long time, maybe this person has long since evaporated from the world. This kind of situation where people are not seen in life and dead bodies are too common." Zhou Sen said.

"Yes, so, after a long time, the special high school will relax their search for him. After all, no one wants to focus on such a clueless matter." Suzuki Yoshio said.

"I don't know anything about this person, so I can't find him even if I try?" Zhou Sen smiled wryly.

"Since I mentioned this person to you, I will naturally give you information." Suzuki Yoshio said, "If this person is alive, only you can find him and send him back to Soviet Russia safely."

"You are too overestimating me. My current ability is only useful in Ice City, but outside of Ice City, it is really useless." Zhou Sen said.

"Anyway, only you can do this, and I can only ask you." Suzuki Yoshio said.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Zhou Sen nodded. This was something Suzuki Yoshio couldn't accomplish when he left. He wanted to help him complete it as much as possible.

"Thank you very much." Suzuki Yoshio bowed.

"You are too kind."

Suzuki Yoshio took out a brown paper envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Sen. The envelope was not sealed, obviously he had prepared it long ago.

Zhou Sen opened the envelope, and there was only a photo inside, which was taken when Malkovich was captured.

There is also a piece of paper, which is the basic information of this Markovich, which should have been filled out by himself when he was captured.

There are age, place of origin, and the Soviet Russian troops served, position and military rank, etc., and then some brief introductions after being captured, such as how and when they were captured, where they were held, and when they were transferred to the "one-story" test site , and whereabouts are unknown after fleeing, etc.

The most detailed record is the record of body wounds. Of course, they were all captured. As for what happened to him in the 'Bungalow' later, there is no written description, and it is simply summarized as a "cruel and inhuman" human experiment.

　One more, if something happens, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
